Absolutely fantastic, the host, the crew and attention paid to detail, there is nothing i can point to that falls short. A must do, worth the money you spend. And their cook is fantastic! Thank you to Phillipe, Sak and the rest of the crew (and lady cook) who made this time the most enjoyable in Phuket!
Phi Phi Islands, Gently
From฿5,310 THBper person · all-inclusive
The Phi Phi islands are famous for a reason — and quietest when you time them right. We plan this day around the light and the tide: clear water for snorkelling, empty sand where the schedule allows, and a crew that never hurries you back to the boat.

Why the sunrise tour beats the standard Phi Phi day. Every other Phi Phi operator out of Phuket leaves around 8am and arrives at Maya Bay between 9 and 10am — the same time as the day-trip fleet from Krabi, Koh Lanta, and Phi Phi Don. We leave Boat Lagoon Marina at 6am. The sunrise itself happens at sea during the ~1hr 10min transit, with the Andaman colour-show breaking over open water as you head south-east. We arrive at Maya Bay around 7:15am, walk an empty beach, swim in clear water, and are pulling away by 8:30am as the first day-tripper boats roll in. The early start is the entire point.
What you actually see in eight hours. Seven stops with real time at each: Maya Bay first (or Bamboo Island in August-September when Phi Phi National Park closes Maya Bay for restoration), then the emerald-water Pileh Lagoon, two hand-picked snorkel reefs chosen on the day for conditions, the Viking Cave and Monkey Beach drift-by, and a final tropical-beach stop at Bamboo Island or Koh Rang Yai depending on the sea. Lunch is back at Soho Pool Club on the Boat Lagoon Marina — buffet, sit-down, with coffee, tea, soft drinks and water all included. No alcohol on the boat, but you can buy it back at Soho if you want a beer at lunch.
The boat and the group. Standard fleet capacity is a hard 18-adult cap (19 total if children are aboard) — actually a small group, not “small group” marketing copy. The boat is a purpose-built tour speedboat with shade, life jackets, floating aids, and snorkel gear for every guest. We hire and train our own crew rather than running independent freelancers — Captain Paul Chappell, a former international airline captain with 23+ years of professional safety training, holds the operational standard. National park fees, hotel pickup from anywhere on the main Phuket tourist coast, light breakfast, and the buffet lunch are all included. The price you see is the price you pay; we absorbed the VAT and the Bokun booking fee in 2025 so there’s nothing added at checkout.
When to book and how cancellation works. This tour runs every day year-round, weather permitting. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. Inside 24 hours we charge the full fare unless we cancel the trip ourselves for sea-condition safety, in which case the full deposit is refunded. Documented COVID positive tests are refunded in full at any time. We don’t oversell — once 18 adults are booked, that day is closed. Booking is direct on this page, takes about two minutes, and confirms instantly with the Bokun booking engine.

Join-In TourPhang Nga Bay by Boat
Limestone towers rising out of green water. Quiet channels between mangroves. A day in Phang Nga Bay moves differently — slower, softer, closer to the rock. We visit the bay’s famous corners without the queues, and its unfamous corners because they are often better.
Join-In TourPhi Phi at Golden Hour
The Phi Phi islands change in the afternoon. The day-boats turn for home, the light goes gold on the cliffs, and the water settles. We run out as it empties — snorkel the reef, keep an eye on the shallows for blacktip reef sharks, and cruise back with the sun going down over the Andaman.
Small group, unhurried, and timed around the light rather than the crowds. Runs November to April — we don't sail this one in the wet-season afternoons, when storms build too quickly to be worth the risk.
Join-In TourInto the Jungle: Khao Sok
Two days inland, away from the sea entirely. We drive north into Phang Nga province for an ethical, no-riding elephant sanctuary and a Thai lunch, then an afternoon of river rafting and jungle coffee before a night at a resort on the edge of Khao Sok National Park.
Day two starts early for the reason everyone comes: a boat across Cheow Lan Lake at first light, emerald water beneath 300-metre limestone cliffs, before the tour boats arrive. Lunch with a view, time to swim, then the drive home. It's an overnight land trip — a van, not a boat day — so pack an overnight bag.
